1 K4BAI John 13 1 27 Think it was the most activity I have heard in a 4S Sprint. Was 16 minutes late in starting and didn't stay on 80 long. 3 member QSOs on 80 and the other 11 QSOs were on 40. Thanks for the QSOs and Happy New Year. 73/72, John, K4BAI.
2 WB9HFK Mark 8 2 18 Thanks to fellow 4S'ers K3JZD, K4BAI, K5UP, W2SH for 40M Q's, and AI5G, and WG5F for both 40M and 80M Q's. Also worked non QRP'ers WW2L on 40M and N4ZN on 80M. I heard but missed N4MJ on 40M. 72, Mark WB9HFK
3 WG5F Ed Meyer 8 0 16 40M CW sigs were GREAT! Everyone spread out nicely. Worked N4MJ,K3JZD,K4BAI,WB9HFK,KB2GKC 80M CW was a struggle for me. Heard only weak signals. Worked K4BAI,WB9HFK,&AI5G I did listen on 20CW @7PM but never CQ'd. Did not try SSB - JS8 was enough of a challenge. Terrific start to SSS in 2026.
4 WG5F-JS8 Ed Meyer 5 0 10 JS8 was VERY active and much more demanding of operator attention than FT4. I only monitored JS8 on 40M. Worked WD8KRV,AD0YM,WA9GMW,KG5OWB,&WW4GPL. Congrats to all Digital Ops - Great turn out!
5 AI5G Mark 5 0 10 40m seemed stronger than previous. Worked WB9HFK and K4BAI. 80m seemed weaker than previous. Worked WB9HFK, K4BAI and WG5F. Still not set up for JS8CALL. It's on my list.
6 N4MJ Glenn 4 0 8 40m WORKED: K3JZD, WG5F, K4BAI, KB2GKC. HEARD: WB9HFK, WG5X 80M HEARD: K4BAI, WG5F, AI5G, one more but couldn't get the call.
7 K3JZD Jody 4 0 8 Some nice strong signals here in WPA. 72, Jody
8 W2SH Charles (aka Chas) 3 0 6 I worked K4BAI on 80 and 40m, and WB9HFK on 40m. No other stations were heard. CQ 4S calls on 20m went unanswered.
9 KB2GKC John 3 0 6 40m weak into Central NY.....80m Very quiet. I worked K4BAI, N4MJ and WG5F....thanks to all
10 AD0YM MIKE 3 0 6 I probably should have practiced ahead of time but muddled through the JS8 exch. I found 4 active 4State ops and worked three of them, WG5F, WA9GMW, and KG5OWB. From a practical standpoint, it was good to be a chaser rather than a runner on my first time out. That breaks down if all are chasers.
11 WA9GMW Paul Wussow 2 0 4 I am not a contest operator but I said I would try SSS on JS8. The format and operation on JS8 vs FT4 takes more time per cycle as just CQ 4S takes 2 cycles. also the free format of js8 makes it hard to have a style of reporting. I dud try the SSB which was blocked in my area by a solid carrier.
12 KG5OWB Terry 2 0 4 Extremely noisy with 0 CW contacts on 20m and 40m (no 80m with portable antenna). However, made two 40m JS8 contacts, WG5F and AD0YM. Much better than FT4 and need more practice with the mode.
13 K5UP Glen 2 0 4 First QRP contest is long time. Very HOA limited for antenna and lots of noise on 40 for some reason. Fun anyway and I will be back.
14 KK4ITX John 1 0 2 Thanks to John K4BAI I wasn’t skunked again. I did hear a few others between 7114 and 7123 but my noise level was 4-6, hard copy. Haven’t been on the SSS for a while, thanks Mark for the reminders. I was vertical with a FT-450d @ 5w, J38 SK.
